ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENTS

EXPERIENCE GREAT HEALTH

Welcome to Balanced Meridian!

When your Meridians are balanced, you will experience less pain and better overall health.

Balanced Meridian is an acupuncture healing center serving the Outer Banks, North Carolina. The “Balanced Meridian” name is in direct correlation to the balancing of your Meridians. The Meridians are the twelve channels of life-energy or “qi” that flow throughout the human body. Dr. Michael Brone is a leading provider of modern acupuncture services that will aid in the balancing of those energy paths or Meridians.

Traditional Chinese Healing… Acupuncture, a cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine along these pathways used for more than 2,500 years, is the insertion of fine strategically and gently placed needles into a person’s body. According to the World Health Organization, it effectively treats a wide range of symptoms, diseases and conditions.

Michael Brone, DC has been one of the leading providers of professional acupuncture services in Eastern North Carolina since 2006. Dr. Brone is also a well-known former provider of chiropractic medical services established in 1992.

Dr. Brone started in each facet of medicine, both traditional and ancient, through his own personal experiences. A prior injury while working on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico led him to become a chiropractor. Later he found relief from taking part in treatments from the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture after years of chronic pain.

We offer Classical Chinese acupuncture using sterile stainless steel ultra-thin needles that are applied according to the laws of the five elements. Multiple systems may be used in a session including auricular therapy, scalp, Korean hand, laser and electro-acupuncture.

Proven to Heal… Used for thousands of years in Eastern cultures, acupuncture has been recognized by the National Institutes of Health for treating conditions like: allergies, asthma, migraines, anxiety, sinusitis, stress, depression, back and neck pain, fatigue, addictions, PMS, hypertension, insomnia, cold and flu, and sciatica.

A Modern Approach to an Ancient Art… Traditional Chinese acupuncture uses the pulse diagnosis method which involves taking a series of readings from a person’s wrists to determine imbalances. Balanced Meridian uses an advanced and modern method of detection called electro meridian imaging. EMI utilizes measured electrical readings and the precision and speed of a modern computer to produce a graph of your imbalances.

Balanced Meridian is a very relaxing and comfortable facility. Dr. Brone is fantastic, and really takes the time to listen and assess your issues. I left without the back pain that I walked in with, and also felt relaxed and energized at the same time. I didn’t know that was possible, but he made it happen! He also made it a point to explain exactly what he was going to do, and gave me a mini education on Acupuncture while he was at it. Highly recommended! Read more…

Dr. Brone does a good job describing what the problem is. And the needles didn’t even hurt at all. Five sessions later not only was my neck and shoulders feeling great, but my sleep was greatly improved too.

R.B. from Wiliamston, North Carolina

A boating accident compressed my lower spine and caused tremendous pain. I use acupuncture, chiropractic, yoga, and massage therapy to keep in shape. If I had to choose only one thing to use it would be acupuncture with Dr. Brone. He gives me the most relief the quickest.
